Richo, I used to agree with the defence part. In my eyes, he was the best, yes best, tackler in the world and I never remember seeing him miss them in his earlier years. Unfortunately after the head knocks he seemed to lose a bit of confidence (which is understandable) and although his technique...

I still don't get the whole low risk approach by Deans... It's the whole reason he's in this precarious position in the first place. I would think that you would want to try absolutely every option available to shake things up and convince the ARU that he is not caught in bad habits. This means...

Why the hell does he do it? It's like he doesnt learn the lesson after doing it half a dozen times. Horwill strikes me as a great bloke but he has a really bad habit there.

Interesting that everyone is going for Tomane. I feel as though Badger is a bit more like digby in his approach to the game and would fill the hard running role very well. We have plenty of x factor in Folau and he can provide the air threat that would compliment Cummins' extremely well. Just my...

Ok, I'll bite. O'Connor played 80% of the season at 15 and then when he played 10 against the reds, defended at fullback. Beale has a tackle rate of 73 percent. There are blatant double standards. Also, Link plays Cooper where he thinks (and has consistently proven) he is most effective. And...

Under Deans' logic, Tapuai's form will return without Cooper there to stifle his abilities so I can see why he made that decision. I think Taps will lift if he has to play and he is not a bloke that cracks under pressure so good luck to him. Would've gone with Kuridrani but thats my personal...

Hopefully the ARU take a page out of Cricket Australia's book there ;) Although Pulver has said he will honour Deans' contract until the end of the season...

Direct hit... "Judicial officer Nigel Hampton accepted Horwill was driven off balance with leg raised and didn't know AWJ was underneath him." Watching the video again, that is an absolute load of BS....... Horwill got extremely lucky IMO

Sounds like something Walshy would say. I hope he learns from this.

HOLEY SHIT! How the hell did he get away with that? The Lions fans will go off their nut.

we're just about to find out the verdict. Fingers crossed gents.

about to hear the verdict. Fingers crossed.

You're kidding right? He's had a stellar season for the reds and was 3rd or 4th for run metres made in the Super Rugby comp.

You can't keep blaming injuries for what were ultimately Deans' own risky decisions. McCabe and Barnes were both known injury liabilities before they took the field. We had numerous other options that have played super rugby most of the season with no issues but Deans insisted on going with his...

Or Folau to 13? 9. Genia 10. Cooper 11. Cummins 12. Lilo 13. Folau 14. O'Connor 15. Beale Now that'd be interesting. Can't see it happening in a million years though. I reckon Kuridrani will get the nod though unless Deans reverts to experience mode and calls up Fainga'a or Tapuai. TK was...

Just to be clear, I meant McCabe and Barnes as the injury prone players. It meant we had Hooper playing at 12 and Phipps on the wing. A ridiculous situation that should never occur in a test match if the right selections are made... I agree with everything else you said wholeheartedly so no...

Also, AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) has dislocated his shoulder according to some news articles. Time for a new 13.

Totally agree with the first comment, the QC (Quade Cooper) mentions will inevitably come up as we have had a horror amount of injuries but it is clearly not dominating conversation so can we get on with it? Two of those three backs are injury prone, have not player much super rugby and were liabilities from...
